BOTTLE.

351,105, dated October 19,1886.

Serial No. 206,752. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, NORMAN SCOTT IIAM- LIN, of Marysville, Yuba county, State oi'Cali fornia, have invented an Improvement in Syringe-Bottles; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same.

My invention relates to syringe-bottles; and it consists in a bottle having a neck-opening in its side and a removable elastic band covering said opening and encircling the bottle, as I shall hereinafter fully describe and claim.

The object of my invention is to provide a bottle, the neck-opening of which can be easily and tightly closed by means of an elastic band, which is also .readily removable for the insertion of the point ojfthe syringe.

These bottles have been heretofore carried in a case specially prepared for them, and which also contains the hypodermic syringe and whatever accessories may be necessary for the operation. The bottle lies upon its side in the case, with its neck-opening turned upwardly, and said opening has usually been closed by a simple stopper, the removal of which affords ready access to the contents of the bottle. It has, however, been ditlicult with such a stopper to keep the bottle from leaking. This difficulty is overcome entirely by my invention, which effectually prevents any leakage, and affords great convenience in obtaining access to the contents of the bottle.

Referring to the accompanying drawings for a more complete ex lanation of myinvention, Figure l is a )erspcctive view of my bottle. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the same.

A is the bottle or vial, both ends of which are closed, and the neck Bis in the side of the bottle, near one end.

0 is an elastic band covering the opening of said neck and encircling the bottle. It is held in place tightly by its own elasticity, and can be readily placed in position and as easily re moved.

In order to make the band fit the neck-opening perfectly, I concave the outer end of the neck, as shown, so that the pressure of the band draws it in tightly around the opening, as will be seen plainly from the drawings. The pressure of the band is sufficient to make a tight joint, and the contents of the bottle will not be wasted by leakage.

When the bottle is lying in its case with its neck turned upwardly, the band can he slipped off, either wholly or partially, from the neckopening, to afford access to the point of the syringe.

I am aware it is not broadly new to form an opening in the sideof a bottle, and to cover said opening with a relnovably-secured flexible stopper, and such construction I therl fore do not broadly claim as my invention.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The syringe-bottleA, having closed ends and a neck projecting from one side having its end concaved, in combination with an elastic removable band covering and fitting the concaved openend of the neck and encircling the body of the bottle, as herein described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

NORMAN SCOTT HAMLIN.
